F60 JUPITER

Is it a Leander class? She looks surprisingly long!

Rgds.

Dave yes she is, but I think the angle of the pic makes her look long.

Paul

Can anyone gain bonus points by naming the two Ton Class Hunters in the foreground (is this Pitch-house jetty in Pompey?)

Tom

As ther were over a hundred Ton class minesweepers built and all their side numbers started with "1" this is almost an impossible question.
But I'm sure someone will have a go !

I thought that one of them may have been one of my old ships Kedleston, due to her Bridge/Charthouse configuration, but I couldn't confirm it from the photo, we could easily discount about 60% of the original Ton Class as a great deal had a markedly different Bridge/Wheelhouse/Charthouse layout. Looks like the Hunter astern was in the 3rd MCM Sqn if that helps.

Tom

When ws this picture taken? Looks like she is in extended rediness/ awaiting disposal? Seawolf tracker is removed and she is very high in the water
